Features of the Nami Katana
The Nami Katana is a remarkable creation that combines strength and grace, inspired by the waves in Japanese culture—symbols of power and fluidity. Expertly crafted, this Katana is a perfect balance of artistic beauty and martial functionality.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from high-carbon T10 steel, the blade of the Nami Katana is celebrated for its durability and exceptional edge retention. This steel’s robustness allows the blade to endure impacts without cracking, making it a reliable choice for cutting practice. The visible hamon, created through differential hardening, is both a functional and aesthetic feature. It enhances the blade’s resilience, allowing it to absorb shocks while remaining flexible and razor-sharp—resembling waves that crash against rocks, unyielding yet flowing.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba is a masterpiece of Japanese artistry, sculpted to reflect the fluidity of waves. Copper’s malleability allows for intricate engraving, and over time, it develops a natural patina, adding depth and character to the sword. The tsuba not only provides solid hand protection but also contributes to the Katana’s elegance, making it as visually captivating as it is practical.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The lacquered wooden saya is adorned with a striking dragon motif, representing power and protection in Japanese culture. The lacquer coating safeguards the wood from moisture and external damage, ensuring the blade remains well-protected. The cotton sageo, securely tied, adds an extra layer of refinement while offering practicality for carrying and display.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine white shagreen, delivering a firm, secure grip. The naturally non-slip texture of shagreen ensures exceptional control, even during extended use. Copper menuki, subtly embedded in the handle, enhance both grip and aesthetic appeal, offering a perfect blend of functionality and sophistication.
